Hi,

While setting up recycled volumes I was facing some issues which I  
have resolved with help of you guys.

I have three volumes. I have written to 1st and 2nd volueme these are  
marked with full status. now bacula just took a backup of 200 GB on  
3rd volume. After that backup I executed a restore job and restored a  
few files successfully. Post this restoration I scheduled again a job.  
Which should write on 3rd volume as per my understanding and it has  
done the same. but while locating end of data it gave me some error  
and marked volume status as error and recycled 1st volume.

for Recycling part it is doing perfectly. But while locating end of  
data it is not doing good. I have faced this issue second time in same  
scenario.

Error i received in log files are :

24-Sep 12:26 backup-dir JobId 30: Start Backup JobId 30,
Job=CONFIG.2013-09-24_12.26.00_54

24-Sep 12:48 backup-sd JobId 30: Recycled volume "A00042L4" on device "Tape-0"




It has recycled volume A00042L4 but marked as error on A00041L4.for  
more information I am using lin_tape driver for tape drive  
communication with IBM tape.

Please tell me how to resolve this issue.


thanks in advance...!!!
